I think so. Voxbone could work for example. Using such a DID provider,
you simply associate the DID with @ekiga.net SIP address.

I think there is a page where you can see all call rates. It is even
directly accessible from within Ekiga itself :
https://www.diamondcard.us/exec/voip-login?act=sgn&spo=ekiga

Apparently, it is also the same rate for mobiles.

I would mail their support service. I can not answer those questions :(
